The idle mixture screw and white spacer mods, on the other hand, don't sound quite so complicated. Just to confirm: I can do those two things without having to do anything else, correct?
Hi Karen. Rejetting consists of:
1. the white spacer mod.
2. drilling out and pulling the cover over the slow mixture screw and adjusting it richer.
3. replacing the main jet with a larger one.
The hardest part is 1 & 2. Changing the main jet is quite easy. I would think doing the spacer mod and slow mixture screw would be worthwhile on a stock bike. These bikes are very lean from the factory. Unfortunately it's not real easy for a novice mechanic. It can be done, but it's far from easy.
I did a Supertrapp muffler, 1/2 white spacer, and the slow mixture screw and it's like a different bike. It hauls butt
Gas mileage is still good (52 combined) and driveability is way better.
